GoodCloudStorage Reviews BackBlaze

Online backup services are like personal insurance plans.

Online review site, www.goodcloudstorage.net/backblaze-review has published an assessment of BackBlaze, which compared to other personal backup service has shown to be budget friendly, has good initial upload speed, a wide range of restoration options, and is safe and secure.

“Online backup services are like personal insurance plans”, comments Joe Dan, the author of the BlackBlaze review. He was referring to how terrible an investment cloud backup services are in terms of ROI but how vital they are when something bad happens to an individual’s personal data. These comments are linked to the price of personal backup services and how BlackBlaze beats the competition with its budget-friendly pricing plans. BackBlaze’s costs as little as $5 per month or as low as $3.96 per month if customers decide to subscribe to the service for 2 years.

The second selling point highlighted by the review is BackBlaze’s initial upload speed, which Dan found only took 3 days to complete for the backup of 300GB of images, PDFs, ebooks, MP3s, and videos. This is belowBlackBlaze’s estimate of 7 days and is faster than the competition. In addition, once initial backup is completed, updates are made on an incremental basis where BackBlazebackups only those files, which have been modified in the customer’s PC.

In addition, BlackBlaze has many restoration options where customers can choose to restore a single file, folder or all of the backed up files in a downloadable zip file. Alternatively, if it takes too long customers can receive a thumb drive from BackBlaze for an additional fee. The cloud backup service is also secure where customers can have their data encrypted using BackBlaze’s AES military-grade encryption and is moved to the cloud using secure SSL connection. Customers even have the option to create their own private encryption key.

However, Joe Dan takes care to highlight the drawbacks of BackBlaze, which include the absence of file sharing capabilities seen in Google Drive and Dropbox, and no capability in backing up the operating system and application files, making full restoration impossible. Overall, Dan gives BackBlaze a positive review because of the previously mentioned advantages.
